Annual Presentation and Dinner

The Club's Annual Presentation and Dinner was held on 9th June at Club Callala and was once again a great success. The executive of HMAS Creswell was represented by CMDR Moses Raudino and his partner Marcella. The Navy Sailing Team had a further 7 people in attendance. Other boat themed tables included Matana and Tranquility. Following the presentation of trophies we were entertained by Jacquii Leigh as she sang and played guitar.

ROCK HOPPER LEAPS TO DIV II TITLE

Ken Dryburgh's Northshore 27 Rock Hopper scored a dramatic
handicap win in the final race of the Jervis Bay Cruising
Yacht Club's Paperbark Autumn Series to take out the hotly
contested Division II Club Championship. Rock Hopper had already
secured the Regatta Title with a string of consistent performances
throughout the season and the performance handicap win in
the season's final race completed a rare double matching the
feat of Dennis Godfrey who dominated the Division I season
in the trimaran Wahoo.

Jamie Andrews's Taste and Try took out the Autumn series
in Division II finishing the season in style with a fine line
honours win over Dave Bennett's much improved Sapphire Dancer
and Ron Kelly's Stuck in First while in Divison I Mark Tobin's
Cougar scored a courageous line honours victory over Wahoo
but couldn't prevent the flying trimaran from adding yet another
series win to her impressive season.

The Club's annual dinner and presentation was held at the
Huskisson RSL Club on the 21st of June where the season's
prize winners were acknowledged. One hundred and fifty people
turned out for the gala event along with the night's special
guests Mayor Greg Watson and Capt John Van Dyke from HMAS
Creswell who kindly assisted with the presentation of trophies,
acknowledged the club's achievements and emphasised the value
of the relationships that have been rekindled in recent years.

Commodore Tony Byrnes thanked the season's sponsors, the
committee for their hard work and all the skippers and crews
for their enthusiastic participation and the party kicked
on well into the night.
